Anhelyna, I've just heard that the Edinburgh Marathon is on tomorrow. It might effect your travel plans...

 

[Anhelyna]

Yes - but I reckon I should be OK - I hope

I'll check stuff later this evening

 

[S.ilvio]

There's quite a few Irish folk in Murrayfield this evening. Connaught v Leinster in the rugby final...

 

[Anhelyna]

There's an awful lot of stuff going on this weekend !

Can I get a map of the Marathon Route ?

In simple terms

NO !!

Seems there are 3 races on in various areas of the City and outside .

There's an 8page PDF about things - if you know the areas well enough to understand what they are talking about.

Looks as if I'm clear of any problems - I think - and hope - and pray

 

[Anhelyna]

Oh my - that was a lovely burger

only 4 oz - but that's enough for me - and a lovely salad OH and of course a nice glass of red which is about to be topped up

Mmmmmm, a nice burger consisting of quality meat is always a treat...

 

[Anhelyna]

It was lovely - yes not cheap - but it was really good meat , not rubbish. Very very tasty

Now to get some oatcakes and cheese to go with my second glass

 

[anjelica]

That burger sounds yummy

 

[Anhelyna]

believe me - it was

From my favourite online Butcher [ who holds a Royal Warrant ] - they make their burgers from the trimmings from [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]/Sirloin etc steak and you can tell

Max has discovered he loves having his ears scratched. He just sits there with his eyes closed as his ears get the once over...

 

[Anhelyna]

Has it taken him till now to learn that ?

SOMEONE (Not to mention Pete's name) has been remiss in Max's training!

Goes to google these "oatcake" thingies

 

[Anhelyna]

Make sure you Google Scottish oatcakes - there are some English ones that are very different

 

[S.ilvio]

I kept telling him how good it was but he wouldn't listen, til now...

Ever seen a horse stand and sway as his ears are scratched ? I swear that both our dogs did that too

Looks and sounds like a thick cracker/non-sweet cookie

 

[Anhelyna]

They are made with oatmeal not flour , slight nutty flavour and can be triangular or round

I've been at it LOL:

The day stretched and yawned and held out its arms,
A smile graced its face as it bade me “Come,”
So gentle its song as it crooned its charms,
Come nestle and rest, then we will have fun,
I slowly walked forwards and took its hand,
It stroked my head gently and welcomed me,
I felt oh so safe and knew I could stand,
That once held in its arms I could be free,
There’d be no more fear, just peace deep within,
What wonderful things this new day would see,
Whatever I’d do, it only could bring
The things that I’d need to help me be me,
This day gave me life as it breeathed gently,
I sang my own sweet song oh so softly.
